Explanatory Note.

In recent weeks legitimate uzers of penicillin and other substances to which the Penicillin Ordinance, 1948 (the principal Ordinance) applie have experienced difficulty in obtaining adequate supplies of these sub- stances. The Ufficulty is attributable to the operations of unscrupulode persons speculating in these commodities.

2. The object sought to be achieved by these regulations is to prevent the substances to which the principal Ordinance applies falling into the hands of persons who have no proper need for them and whose only object in dealing in them is to make profits at the expense of the health of "the community.

3. The above regulations (made under the Emergency Regulations Ordinance, 1922) have therefore been enacted in amendment of the prin cipal Ordinance to make it an offence for persons other than legitimate users to be la possession of such substances while for certain purpose imposing the requirement of permits issued by or on behalf of the Director of Medical and Health Services. It is contemplated that permits will, in general, be issued to established wholesale dealers in the substances concerned, Transitional provistons however provide for sale to the Government by persons who are refused permits.

:

Obligation is also created for certain persons to keep records transactions and powera of entry and search are given for purposes of enforcement.
